The last time I wrote about my own personal writing-novel
endeavors was back in November, and I was well aware that my efforts would
undoubtedly stall during the holidays. And while they did, I did make some
important decisions about what I was working on.
Developments
The biggest development was that I decided to pretty much
scrap what I had been previously working on and go with another idea. I don’t
want to go too much in detail here/yet, but my new plan centers around a school,
taking advantage of the microcosmic qualities that campuses possess in terms of
staff and students. The storyline that I had been working with before just felt
too forced and I was having difficulties with the timelines matching up and
what writing in the near future would mean. I may return to the idea someday,
but for now it’s definitely on the back burner.
Plans
My biggest issue right now is determining an actual plot… I
have an idea of what I want the narrative structure to be like, who the
characters are, and thematic implications, though. And while I am a huge
proponent of character-driven stories, I do need something to propel the story
forward.
Good luck. I hope it all comes together.
